Free tyre inspections for SMEs

The fast-fit specialist, which has over 380 centres and 1,000 mobile service vans operating across the UK, will also undertake the first tyre repair it identifies per fleet free of charge.

ATS Euromaster says the inspections are typical of the tyre safety checks it carries out on many larger fleet contracts, with its teams visiting customer sites and checking tyres on more than 50,000 vehicles every month.

The free offer includes a tread depth and general tyre condition report, highlighting any tyres which are either damaged, punctured or at or below the legal limit, plus those which need replacing soon – all backed up with a written report for the fleet manager or owner.

'Tyres are the only part of a vehicle in direct contact with the road, but they are also one of the most neglected items in terms of vehicle maintenance,' warned Martyn Pointer, head of regional sales at ATS Euromaster. 'Poorly maintained tyres not only pose a major safety hazard but can escalate vehicle running costs, particularly in terms of increased fuel consumption.

'This special offer is the perfect chance for small businesses to ensure they are getting the maximum performance out of every tyre in their fleet, whilst supporting their duty of care requirements. What's more it won't cost them a penny – and if we spot a puncture or tyre in need or repair along the way, the first fix is on us,' he added.

ATS Euromaster is making the offer available to the first 500 companies who contact their local centre manager to request the service, or by phoning 0800 458 1801. The offer is only available to non-existing customers.
